E&ypt Stymied In Quest
For Surplus U.S. Cotton
WASHINGTON � The unusual combination of a vigi-
lant Congress plus an aroused American cotton in-
dustry has successfully thwarted Egyptian hopes of
getting U.S. cotton shipments.
Though there has been no offi-
cial Washington announcement, it
has been learned that Nasser's ef-
forts to use a "bail" --some 350,-
000 cotton bales to be exact�to
"bail" him out of his domestic
economic difficulties, have been
temporarily stymied.
Report Confirmed
The U.S. Department of Agricul-
ture�which has been handling the
Egyptian cotton request�gives tacit
confirmation to the report. A
spokesman says no recent action
has been taken on the application�
another way of saying that the re-
quest has been put on the shelf.
According t o observers here,
that's where it can be expected to
remain--certainly at least until the
opposition has simmered downabit.
How did the issue arise? What is
the opposition all about? Here, in
brief, is the background;
Crop Failure
Some three months ago, Egypt,
reeling under the impact of a ca-
tastrophic cotton crop failure
caused by pestilence, flood and bad
weather, approached this govern-

tering for or purchasing on credit;

B-G Proposes Ease
Of Military Rule
Over Israeli-Arabs
JERUSALEM, (JTA)--Prime
Minister David Ben-Gurion sub-
mitted to a meeting of the Cabi-
net here this week a series of
recommendations for the relaxa-
tion of Israel's military rule in
border areas occupied by Israeli
Arabs. He will present the
recommendations to a meeting
of the Knesset to forestall the
passage of several bills pending
in the House, calling for total
abolition of the military govern-
ment.
The Premier's recommenda-
tions include greater freedom of

LOS ANGELES, (JTA) �
Police authorities here are
continuing efforts to deter-

bombings made last week
against the homes of two
Christian ministers.
The blasts took place while the
clergymen were addressing a meet-

Rightist Threats
The meeting, at Temple Sinai,
had been called to discuss "The

The bombs had damaged the
